Posture-Invariant Three Dimensional Human Hand Statistical Shape Model

Abstract

A high-fidelity digital representation of the human body is a key enabler for integrating humans in a digital twin. Among different parts of human body, building the model of the hand can be a challenging task due to the posture deviations among collected scans. In this paper, we proposed a posture invariant hand statistical shape model (SSM) based on 59 3D scans of human hands. First, the 3D scans were spatially aligned using a Möbius sphere-based algorithm. An articulated skeleton, which contains 20 bone segments and 16 joints, was embedded for each 3D scan. Then all scans were aligned to the same posture using the skeleton and the linear blend skinning algorithm. Three methods, i.e. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), kernel-PCA with different kernel functions, and Independent Component Analysis, were evaluated in the construction of the SSMs regarding the compactness, the generalization ability and the specificity. The PCA-based SSM was selected, where 20 principal components were used as parameters for the model. Results of the leave-one-out validation indicate that the proposed model was able to fit a given 3D scan of the human hand at an accuracy of 1.21 ± 0.14 mm. Experiment results also indicated that the proposed SSM outperforms the SSM that was built on the scans without posture correction. It is concluded that the proposed posture correction approach can effectively improve the accuracy of the hand SSM, therefore enables its wide usage in human integrated digital twin applications.

Feature Preserving Non-Rigid Iterative Weighted Closest Point and Semi-Curvature Registration

“…Guo et al [28] proposed an 0 model for establishing correspondences between deformed body shapes, and this method had higher accuracy and robustness in dynamic 3D reconstruction and tracking. However, the construction of an SSM [29] is always an expensive task regarding both the manpower and the computing time, and it is not always possible to build an SSM regarding the shape to be registered.…”

The development of a low-cost photogrammetry-based 3D hand scanner

“…The design of the proposed hand scanner is modular, simple, and easy-to-build, it has been used successfully in personalized product design [25] and anthropometric studies [13] . However, there are still some limitations: 1) The scanner is designed and optimized for scanning the hand, even though other similar objects can also be scanned using this scanner, the 3D reconstruction result may not be as good as the hand; 2) The user-interface (UI) of the computer is simple, i.e.…”
